Details
We’re installing a new pedestrian crossing point on Dunbars Road (west of Balkwell Street). Various traffic management layouts will be installed during the project, as outlined below.
Traffic Impacts
- Two lanes of traffic will be maintained on Dunbars Road for the majority of the project, with intermittent use of temporary traffic lights when required.
- At the end of January, we’ll need to close a section of Dunbars Road for up to 3 days when we’re installing the high friction surfacing, and allow it time to cure. Please use the signposted detour routes during this time.
- We’ll need to remove on-street parking, so we will place no parking signage out before we start work.
- Please be on the lookout for changes in traffic management and follow the signs.
- Our friendly staff will help people get around our site and assist with any queries.
Information for residents
- Access for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to impacted properties within our worksite will be maintained.
- Please advise our team if you have specific requirements e.g.medical visits, large deliveries, home help or any planned works.
- There will be increased construction noise and vibration at times, and we will do our best to keep this to a minimum.
- The work will have no impact on any services such as water, electricity, telecommunications and gas.
- The timing of the work and certain activities will depend on the weather and the roads.
- Please put your bins out as usual by 6am on your collection day. Our team will move them and return them if needed.
